Dairy farm kid turned geek, regretting getting into tech despite how well it pays the bills. Spend all day explaining how computers work to people that get paid to know it, but don't.
At pretty much any moment of the day, I would rather be outside.

Today in tech facepalms:
Explaining to the person who gzipped up a file being written to by a running process on a prod server that its 454KB size wasn't what was filling up /tmp.
The reason /tmp was full was another dumbass copying their bloated home directory to that location....on a damn production server.
All hands today contained the "use the AI or you'll get left behind" shit.
Dude, I've been trying to get people to keep up for over 20 years. This isn't going to fix that issue.
